GoPro HERO HD 100km Ultra Marathon Trail Running in Vibram Five Fingers

[Thebizzle21]

A few questions. Are both views from gopro cameras? Regarding the front view... is that on a head strap or was that on your chest?

[MrMcBrennan]

Thanks for the ride! I really enjoy running in my Vibrams as well. About a year in them now

Sorry for not understanding your previous answer to a similar question but you stated that you used a head strap. Does that mean you used a separate strap for each camera or how did you connect two cameras to one head strap? Do you have any photos of your setup?

You inspire me. I'm trying to prepare for a 5k in Vibrams. I'm truly inspired. thank you

Nowadays, I upload as HD... I have so much more film, but it's hard to figure out what to post.. You can read the time differentials at my website blog. I run out pretty fast and then crawl at the end :(, but I can say I have done 100km!

Awesome video, wish you uploaded it in 720p though. How did you handle batteries for the camera? Did you have extra batteries (and extra memory cards) in your backpack? I'm thinking of buying a GoPro camera, it seems to be a lot more stable than running with my compact camera in my hand, which I just did on a halfmarathon.

Also it looks like you run quite fast for a 100 km, at least on the video. But if you ran 100 km in 21 hours it's maybe not so fast.

@Noah, No prior experience to semi-barefoot running

@JohnVKaravitis, it's a little heavy but I don't see any time difference in having it with or without. it doesn't hurt. I use it for swimming too. No headaches. I've worn it for more than 10 hours. Sweat isn't an issue. Baseball cap isn't great idea; too high. Run smoothly for 'stabilization' - that's how you're suppose to run anyways.

HOW DID you hook that camera to the back of you and keep it stable?

[jlabelle]

@aleks8825 It's a head strap, I have one in front and back and it creates the right counterweight to prevent a lot of shaking.

[JohnVKaravitis]

@jlabelle Brilliant idea. Can you give us more personal feedback re the use of the GoPro personal vid cam, specifically the use of the head mount. I want to use it to record my 10K race efforts. Is it heavy? Does the strap hurt? Does the strap give you headaches if you wear it for a long time? Does your sweat affect the camera? Can you wear a baseball cap while the headmount is on? Is there a "stabilization" mode to prevent the recording from being "jerky". Thanks.  John Karavitis

Wow nice video !! More please :)

[jlabelle]

recorded upside down, so to fix it, i have to switch horizontal and vertical - creating degration.

[hinogi]

Hey maybe turn on the mirror effect, there is left and right switched in this mode :P

There are a lot of ultra marathon races - but be ready for it, it's not going to be easy...
